173
00:09:02,230 --> 00:09:03,273
See it there?
174
00:09:03,398 --> 00:09:04,232
LEE: No.
175
00:09:06,693 --> 00:09:08,194
Yeah, that's
what they said.
176
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:13,366
But it's there, which means no way
head trauma did this.
177
00:09:13,783 --> 00:09:17,579
It's cancer, causing a
paraneoplastic syndrome.
178
00:09:17,704 --> 00:09:19,789
Unfortunately, your
current doctor thinks
179
00:09:19,914 --> 00:09:22,917
its diffused nature
means an infection.
180
00:09:23,042 --> 00:09:25,712
Now, the bad news
is the antivirals
181
00:09:25,837 --> 00:09:28,756
he's got you on
might kill you.
182
00:09:28,882 --> 00:09:29,841
LEE: I'm not gonna die.
183
00:09:29,966 --> 00:09:33,386
The good news is,
if they just almost kill you,
184
00:09:33,511 --> 00:09:37,682
then Dr. Idiot will realize that
his name is not a coincidence,
185
00:09:37,807 --> 00:09:39,601
and he'll let me
do whatever I want.
186
00:09:39,726 --> 00:09:40,643
LEE: Thank you.
187
00:09:44,230 --> 00:09:45,940
See, the irony here is,
188
00:09:47,692 --> 00:09:49,402
you're kind of fascinating.
189
00:09:50,695 --> 00:09:52,488
So many questions.
190
00:09:53,364 --> 00:09:55,033
But if you could
answer any of them,
191
00:09:55,158 --> 00:09:56,701
then you wouldn't
be fascinating.
192
00:09:56,826 --> 00:09:59,829
LEE: I get it. You're a little
nuts, aren't you?
193
00:10:03,499 --> 00:10:05,877
Your wife is the one
getting you through this.
194
00:10:06,002 --> 00:10:07,837
Your wife and me.
195
00:10:09,797 --> 00:10:12,342
Although, frankly, the MRI
was a lot more useful
196
00:10:12,467 --> 00:10:14,469
than four hours of hand holding.
197
00:10:15,803 --> 00:10:17,430
I think.
198
00:10:18,514 --> 00:10:20,642
LEE: If he had a wife,
he'd know it matters.
199
00:10:21,809 --> 00:10:25,104
You're a good guy.
Easy to talk to.
200
00:10:25,230 --> 00:10:29,400
LEE: Wait, something's
happening. What's happening to me?
201
00:10:29,525 --> 00:10:31,653
HOUSE: Need some
help in here.
202
00:10:31,778 --> 00:10:33,655
Your patient is seizing.
203
00:10:36,324 --> 00:10:37,825
Why would
he have a seizure?
204
00:10:37,951 --> 00:10:39,369
HOUSE: Because he has cancer.
205
00:10:39,494 --> 00:10:40,662
His brain stem is compromised.
206
00:10:40,787 --> 00:10:43,331
LEE: Why are you still arguing with
this guy? You thought I was dead.
207
00:10:43,456 --> 00:10:45,667
Welcome back.
And nicely played.
208
00:10:45,792 --> 00:10:49,587
You almost died,
exactly as we planned.
209
00:10:49,712 --> 00:10:51,005
You knew this
was gonna happen?
210
00:10:51,130 --> 00:10:54,676
Usually happens when you treat cancer
by pretending it's not cancer.
211
00:10:54,801 --> 00:10:57,553
- Right, Doctor? My turn?
- It's cancer?
212
00:10:57,679 --> 00:10:58,638
- No, it isn't.
- LEE: Yes.
213
00:10:58,763 --> 00:11:01,849
Small tumor in his brain stem
causing paraneoplastic syndrome.
214
00:11:01,975 --> 00:11:04,769
- He needs plasmapheresis.
- Can you give that to him?
215
00:11:04,894 --> 00:11:06,938
No, no, I'm sorry. I completely disagree
with Dr. House.
216
00:11:07,063 --> 00:11:08,022
LEE: Please shut up!
217
00:11:08,147 --> 00:11:09,315
I don't.
218
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:11,567
Which means
I can treat him.
219
00:11:11,693 --> 00:11:13,444
LEE: Let him. Let him.
220
00:11:13,569 --> 00:11:14,904
Is that what you want?
221
00:11:15,029 --> 00:11:16,572
LEE: Absolutely.
222
00:11:18,116 --> 00:11:20,159
Could you send up
a couple of bellboys?
223
00:11:26,708 --> 00:11:26,999
(WOMAN CHATTERING ON PA)
224
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:28,751
(WOMAN CHATTERING ON PA)
225
00:11:30,753 --> 00:11:34,424
I got the transfer papers,
plasmapheresis is all set up.
226
00:11:34,549 --> 00:11:35,550
Are you okay?
227
00:11:35,675 --> 00:11:38,428
Fresh infusion of
macho. You like?
228
00:11:38,553 --> 00:11:41,556
LEE: I can't move, and she's worried
about his boo-boo?
229
00:11:41,681 --> 00:11:43,141
What were you
doing up there anyway?
230
00:11:43,266 --> 00:11:44,684
Antiquing.
231
00:11:44,809 --> 00:11:46,519
Found you a late
Victorian corset.
232
00:11:46,644 --> 00:11:47,937
Come by later.
I'll tie you up.
233
00:11:48,062 --> 00:11:52,150
LEE: He hitting on her? If she turns
around, she's into him, too.
234
00:11:52,275 --> 00:11:53,484
And there you have it.
235
00:11:53,609 --> 00:11:55,653
Sorry, I didn't show up
in Middletown. I didn't get the message.
236
00:11:55,778 --> 00:11:57,613
Probably 'cause
there was no message.
237
00:11:57,739 --> 00:12:00,199
I decided to accept
your resignation.
238
00:12:00,325 --> 00:12:02,785
Uh, I thought we were past this.
I decided to stay.
239
00:12:02,910 --> 00:12:04,829
HOUSE: No, you didn't, you had it
decided for you.
240
00:12:04,954 --> 00:12:06,414
So now you're stuck here
with a boss
241
00:12:06,539 --> 00:12:08,416
who knows that you wanna be
somewhere else.
242
00:12:08,541 --> 00:12:10,418
Which means you're
no longer motivated to impress me.
243
00:12:10,543 --> 00:12:13,463
Which means you're no longer motivated
to come up with good ideas.
244
00:12:13,588 --> 00:12:15,006
Unless I'm wrong.
245
00:12:15,757 --> 00:12:18,968
Save the cheerleader,
save your world.
246
00:12:20,261 --> 00:12:21,095
I got it from here.
247
00:12:21,220 --> 00:12:22,597
LEE: I thought you
already solved this.
248
00:12:22,722 --> 00:12:25,016
You thinking you might be wrong?
249
00:12:25,141 --> 00:12:26,642
What's going on?
250
00:12:26,768 --> 00:12:29,687
Hey, just curious.
251
00:12:29,812 --> 00:12:31,981
What're you driving
up to Middletown for?
252
00:12:32,106 --> 00:12:32,940
Why do you care?
253
00:12:33,066 --> 00:12:34,025
LEE: Why does he care?
254
00:12:34,150 --> 00:12:35,526
Because I'm your friend.
255
00:12:35,651 --> 00:12:37,695
- I was buying a guitar.
- Yeah. I heard that.
256
00:12:37,820 --> 00:12:41,074
Used to belong to a guitarist who died
in a motorcycle accident.
257
00:12:41,199 --> 00:12:43,785
Just reeks of you
screwing with people.
258
00:12:43,910 --> 00:12:48,331
Your crash was 10 miles from the Orange
County Progressive Pain Clinic.
259
00:12:48,456 --> 00:12:50,500
You live 10 miles
from Mary's Dress Shop.
260
00:12:50,625 --> 00:12:52,335
And yet,
that's not even on my list of reasons
261
00:12:52,460 --> 00:12:54,420
that I think you're
secretly a transvestite.
262
00:12:54,545 --> 00:12:58,341
If you're going to another state
to get more narcotics...
263
00:12:58,466 --> 00:12:59,300
LEE: He's on drugs?
264
00:12:59,425 --> 00:13:02,261
I went to visit your ex-ex-ex wife
who lives in Thompson Ridge.
265
00:13:02,387 --> 00:13:04,931
Let her know about the extra money
you're making on the lecture circuit,
266
00:13:05,056 --> 00:13:07,392
so she'll be sure
to adjust your alimony.
267
00:13:07,517 --> 00:13:08,768
You wouldn't do that.
268
00:13:08,893 --> 00:13:10,520
Yeah, I wouldn't do that.
269
00:13:10,645 --> 00:13:11,771
Would you?
270
00:13:11,896 --> 00:13:13,231
LEE: You guys
are friends?
271
00:13:17,068 --> 00:13:19,529
Shouldn't we be entertaining
our patient?
272
00:13:19,654 --> 00:13:23,533
I performed Euripides with sock puppets,
you just missed it.
273
00:13:23,658 --> 00:13:25,410
House said we should.
274
00:13:25,535 --> 00:13:26,828
The mind is like a muscle.
275
00:13:26,953 --> 00:13:29,956
If you don't exercise it,
it'll atrophy, just like anything else.
276
00:13:30,081 --> 00:13:33,209
Whoever's with him needs to talk,
keep his mind active.
277
00:13:33,334 --> 00:13:36,254
And it'll show
House you still care.
278
00:13:36,379 --> 00:13:37,547
Not sure if I do.
279
00:13:37,672 --> 00:13:39,340
LEE: Jeez,
you're my doctor.
280
00:13:39,465 --> 00:13:40,716
KUTNER: Then why
don't you just quit?
281
00:13:40,842 --> 00:13:42,510
- Not sure I want to do that, either.
- Oh.
282
00:13:43,845 --> 00:13:46,722
Maybe you should figure it out before
House figures it out for you.
283
00:13:46,848 --> 00:13:50,810
LEE: Dude, maybe you should have your
midlife crisis after I'm better.
284
00:13:50,935 --> 00:13:52,353
Kutner.
285
00:13:54,522 --> 00:13:55,648
We'll be right back.
286
00:13:55,773 --> 00:13:58,651
LEE: Wait. Wait,
what did you just see?
287
00:14:04,782 --> 00:14:06,117
Do you drink?
288
00:14:06,242 --> 00:14:09,162
He's a roofer, alcohol hardly
proves your theory.
289
00:14:09,287 --> 00:14:11,080
Marchiafava-Bignami
disease fits.
290
00:14:11,205 --> 00:14:12,206
LFT's are normal.
291
00:14:12,331 --> 00:14:15,376
LEE: Speak English.
Is it fixable? What does that mean?
292
00:14:15,501 --> 00:14:16,335
That hurts.
293
00:14:16,461 --> 00:14:17,962
THIRTEEN: No tremors.
294
00:14:18,087 --> 00:14:19,922
How much do you drink?
A six-pack a day?
295
00:14:20,047 --> 00:14:21,466
LEE: I hate beer.
I don't even drink beer.
296
00:14:21,591 --> 00:14:22,508
Could mean he drinks
more or less,
297
00:14:22,633 --> 00:14:23,593
or maybe something else.
298
00:14:23,718 --> 00:14:24,969
KUTNER: It may not
be alcohol at all.
299
00:14:25,094 --> 00:14:26,471
Street opiates could
also cause locked-in...

...MPPP.
302
00:14:28,514 --> 00:14:31,267
Either we play 20,000 questions
with every street drug,
303
00:14:31,392 --> 00:14:34,562
or instead of talking
to him, we talk to the lesion.
304
00:14:34,687 --> 00:14:35,521
LEE: Talk to me.
305

TAUB: We're going to
biopsy the brain stem?
306
00:14:38,524 --> 00:14:41,444
For the record, that doesn't count
as your inspired idea.

00:14:41,569 --> 00:14:42,612
It's sort of
where I was heading.

into my head? Why?

Stop treating me like
a piece of furniture!
310
00:14:48,659 --> 00:14:50,620
I have a right to
know what's going on!
311
00:14:56,292 --> 00:14:57,710
Where is that going?
312
00:14:57,835 --> 00:15:00,254
Blood in your urine clogged up
your old catheter.
313
00:15:00,379 --> 00:15:04,175
LEE: Peeing blood? That must be
what the insecure doctor saw.

Every clue gets us
closer to the answer.

316
00:15:09,347 --> 00:15:11,474
The surgery will
get us more clues.
317
00:15:18,439 --> 00:15:19,690

319
00:15:26,155 --> 00:15:27,448

- Daddy.
- Daddy.

LEE: I told you
not to bring them.
322
00:15:31,577 --> 00:15:33,454
They wanted to
see their father.

LEE: I can't
even hug them.
324
00:15:37,625 --> 00:15:40,294
They can handle it.
It's gonna be all right.
325
00:15:40,419 --> 00:15:42,755
LEE: You're not so sure
anymore, are you?
326
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:47,009
They must have told you that
it's dangerous, that I could die.
327
00:15:47,635 --> 00:15:49,387
And that's why you
brought them in here.
328
00:15:49,512 --> 00:15:50,930
I got an A plus
on my test.
329

I love you, Daddy.

I want to show
my drawings.

LEE: Kids just want a dad.
Even if he's just a lump.
334
00:16:04,944 --> 00:16:06,070
Maybe you should go now.
335
00:16:06,195 --> 00:16:09,156

Please, let them stay.

Judging by the color,
I'd say cadmium.

Which he'd aerosolize with the broom,
then right into his lungs.

Great. All you gotta
do is come up with a good idea.

How about we hook the guy's brain
to a computer so he can communicate?

with it. No one else came up with it.

I've been here for three days.
Everything hurts.

00:36:12,025 --> 00:36:13,109
We need to get him
started on steroids.

Just stop fighting.

on with her life.

705
00:36:37,342 --> 00:36:38,718
He's trying to talk.
706
00:36:43,014 --> 00:36:44,349
Something bothering you?
707
00:36:46,059 --> 00:36:48,561
If there's still tightness
in your chest, it's expected.
708
00:36:48,686 --> 00:36:49,979
Is it your eye?

(MACHINE BEEPS THREE TIMES)
710
00:36:53,733 --> 00:36:57,237
Why's he saying "no" three times?
You only asked one question.
711
00:36:57,362 --> 00:36:58,488
Maybe he's not
saying "no".
712
00:36:58,613 --> 00:37:00,323
Maybe he's
saying "down"?
713
00:37:05,453 --> 00:37:07,372
Are you saying that
the pain is lower?
714
00:37:07,831 --> 00:37:09,165
How low? Your leg?
715
00:37:09,874 --> 00:37:10,834
Your foot?
716
00:37:13,294 --> 00:37:14,671

Yeah. His right foot.

No bruises,
no rashes, no cuts.
720
00:37:21,386 --> 00:37:23,805
Then there should
be no pain.
721
00:37:23,930 --> 00:37:25,765
Is it a tingling
sensation?
722
00:37:26,933 --> 00:37:28,268
Is it itching?
723
00:37:28,393 --> 00:37:29,602
(MACHINE BEEPS "YES")
724
00:37:32,856 --> 00:37:35,733
Itchy foot means
liver failure.
725
00:37:35,859 --> 00:37:38,736
TAUB: The liver's fine, his enzymes have
been normal since we admitted him.
726
00:37:38,862 --> 00:37:40,655
I didn't say failing,
I said failure.
727
00:37:40,780 --> 00:37:42,198
Just like you.
728
00:37:42,866 --> 00:37:45,034
Liver's like a cruise
ship taking on water.
729
00:37:45,159 --> 00:37:46,995
As it starts to sink,
it sends out an SOS.
730
00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:49,747
Only instead of radio
waves, it uses enzymes.
731
00:37:49,873 --> 00:37:52,417
The more enzymes in
the blood, the worse the liver is.
732
00:37:52,542 --> 00:37:55,920
But once the ship has sunk,
there's no more SOS.
733
00:37:56,045 --> 00:37:59,048
You think the liver's fine, but it's
already at the bottom of the sea.
734
00:37:59,173 --> 00:38:00,633
So dying liver
released toxins,
735
00:38:00,758 --> 00:38:03,344
damaged the nerves,
led to locked-in syndrome.
736
00:38:03,469 --> 00:38:05,805
Now we just need to know what's causing
the liver failure.
737
00:38:05,930 --> 00:38:09,684
Liver plus eye plus kidney,
most likely sclerosing cholangitis.
738
00:38:09,809 --> 00:38:12,520
Oh, God, if only
Taub had said that,
739
00:38:12,645 --> 00:38:13,980
it would have
been a happy ending.
740
00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:15,732
Do a biopsy to confirm.
741
00:38:20,612 --> 00:38:24,240
I'm gonna numb up the area where
we'll go in for the punch biopsy.
742
00:38:25,116 --> 00:38:26,743
Where's the new bracelet?
743
00:38:27,994 --> 00:38:29,537
She was wearing
the bracelet?
744
00:38:29,662 --> 00:38:31,080
You didn't notice
that I was wearing it?
745
00:38:31,205 --> 00:38:32,206
Because you weren't.
746
00:38:32,332 --> 00:38:33,708
He noticed
and you didn't?
747
00:38:33,833 --> 00:38:35,668
If you don't like it,
it's fine, it's not a big deal.
748
00:38:35,793 --> 00:38:37,128
THIRTEEN: I like it.
That's the point.
749
00:38:37,253 --> 00:38:39,005
I'd rather have it at home
in the jewelry box
750
00:38:39,130 --> 00:38:41,215
than getting peed on at work.
751
00:38:41,341 --> 00:38:42,926
You got the patient's
urine on that arm?
752
00:38:43,051 --> 00:38:45,678
When I was putting
in the catheter. Why?
753
00:38:45,803 --> 00:38:48,556
- You've got a rash.
- The bracelet's real.
754
00:38:48,681 --> 00:38:51,684
I figured.
So what if the rash
755
00:38:51,809 --> 00:38:54,771
isn't just a rash,
what if it's an infection?
756
00:38:54,896 --> 00:38:57,315
If there were rats
in that basement,
757
00:38:57,440 --> 00:39:00,693
then the liver failure
could be caused by leptospirosis.
758
00:39:00,818 --> 00:39:04,238
Transfers through urine.
Rat pee to him. His pee to you.
759
00:39:04,364 --> 00:39:06,866
The infection would
need an entry point.
760
00:39:06,991 --> 00:39:09,369
Look for any recent
scratches, cuts.
761
00:39:13,790 --> 00:39:16,834
Look. Next to
his fingernail.
762
00:39:20,004 --> 00:39:21,839
The infection
destroyed your liver,
763
00:39:21,965 --> 00:39:25,134
which released toxins that caused
the locked-in syndrome.
764
00:39:25,385 --> 00:39:26,636
You were dying
of a paper cut.
765
00:39:27,053 --> 00:39:28,596
LEE: I hope
you're right this time.
766
00:39:28,763 --> 00:39:30,098
Let's start him on
high dose penicillin G.
767
00:39:30,473 --> 00:39:33,101
We found rats in your
buddy Dave's basement.
768
00:39:33,226 --> 00:39:35,520
Tested positive
for leptospirosis.
769
00:39:36,270 --> 00:39:38,064
Means we're on
the right treatment.
770
00:39:39,315 --> 00:39:42,819
So try moving
a finger.
771
00:39:44,946 --> 00:39:47,407
Your brain needs to get used
to doing its job again.
772
00:39:47,532 --> 00:39:48,825
Try harder.
773
00:39:51,077 --> 00:39:53,329
I'm sure you've lost hope.
774
00:39:54,706 --> 00:39:57,125
I know we've told you several times
that we knew what this was,
775
00:39:57,250 --> 00:39:59,168
but this time we're right.
776
00:40:00,545 --> 00:40:04,590
Concentrate. Move
one finger for me.
777
00:40:15,560 --> 00:40:16,853
Welcome back.

00:40:27,488 --> 00:40:28,614
Rat pee.
781
00:40:29,657 --> 00:40:31,075
Very nice idea.
782
00:40:32,535 --> 00:40:33,661
Who came up with it?
783
00:40:34,620 --> 00:40:35,913
I did.
784
00:40:39,042 --> 00:40:40,334
Good.
785
00:40:46,716 --> 00:40:49,010
You okay with him
claiming the credit?
786
00:40:49,135 --> 00:40:51,471
It was his idea,
he saw the rash, he...
787
00:40:51,637 --> 00:40:53,473
If he did,
he would have hung
788
00:40:53,598 --> 00:40:56,517
a "Mission Accomplished"
banner in my outer office.
789
00:40:58,686 --> 00:41:00,354
Don't toy with him, if you're going
to fire him...
790
00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:03,983
Fact that he stole your
idea means that he cares enough to lie.
791
00:41:04,942 --> 00:41:06,694
That's all
I needed to know.
792
00:41:06,819 --> 00:41:10,281
Rat pee.
It's a very nice idea.
793
00:41:13,242 --> 00:41:16,537
House, you left
this in my office.
794
00:41:18,581 --> 00:41:20,124
No, I didn't.
795
00:41:20,500 --> 00:41:22,293
So either I have
a hole in my pocket...
796
00:41:22,418 --> 00:41:25,254
No, that's right.
I remember now. I stole it.
797
00:41:25,379 --> 00:41:28,091
Because if you had gone up there
to check out my girlfriend,
798
00:41:28,216 --> 00:41:30,051
you wouldn't have come
back here and lied to me about it.
799
00:41:30,176 --> 00:41:31,594
You would have thrown
her right in my face.
800
00:41:31,719 --> 00:41:34,222
You underestimate the
entertainment value of your obsessions.
801
00:41:34,347 --> 00:41:37,850
And then there were all those calls
you weren't taking in front of me.
802
00:41:40,353 --> 00:41:42,897
So I dialed the number of the calls
you weren't taking.
803
00:41:43,022 --> 00:41:44,690
You're seeing
a psychiatrist.
804
00:41:54,992 --> 00:41:57,578
You had no right to
invade my privacy.
805
00:41:59,330 --> 00:42:01,749
- Is that?
- Yeah, it's irony.
806

Suddenly, you're not
so fascinating.

WILSON: You're spying
on your team?
810
00:42:20,893 --> 00:42:22,645
Prioritize, Wilson.
811
00:42:22,770 --> 00:42:24,939
Is that really what you want
to torture me about right now?
812
00:42:25,064 --> 00:42:26,274
I don't want to torture
you at all.
813
00:42:26,399 --> 00:42:27,567
I think
this is a great thing,
814
00:42:27,692 --> 00:42:30,778
not something you have to drive an hour
out of town to shroud in mystery.
815
00:42:30,903 --> 00:42:32,738
Yeah, whining on
someone's couch
816
00:42:32,864 --> 00:42:34,699
is an excellent
use of my time.
817
00:42:34,824 --> 00:42:36,826
Maybe I'll discover
that my childhood wasn't perfect.
818
00:42:36,951 --> 00:42:39,620
So your attitude
about therapy clearly hasn't changed.
819
00:42:39,745 --> 00:42:41,581
And yet you went.
820
00:42:41,706 --> 00:42:44,584
Which leads me to believe that maybe
something else has changed.
821
00:42:44,709 --> 00:42:48,462
Maybe you think you can change.
Credit Cuddy with that.
822
00:42:48,588 --> 00:42:51,424
Not much credit to
take 'cause I'm not going back.

Oh, House, please.
824
00:42:53,843 --> 00:42:55,678
I assume you went
because you're tired of screwing up
825
00:42:55,803 --> 00:42:57,513
every chance you
get at happiness.
826
00:42:57,638 --> 00:42:58,639
Delete contact.

00:42:59,182 --> 00:43:01,225
Do not let the fact
that I found out about it...

yourself up.
829
00:43:03,269 --> 00:43:05,771
